I joined just to share this news: My BIG introduction with the MOTHER of all Conspiracy Theories!!!

I started inadvertently laughing at the (anti-christ, maybe Obama) bits in your post.

What have you been sniffing on?

I couldn't agree more. This is a theory ( at best ), based on dubious sources of information. Not to mention that all of this is based on a religious
myth, which I personally find dubious. So, another christian has joined ATS to further propogate their religious / political agenda / beliefs. I've
been on ATS long enough to remember when we had quality over quantity. I don't see anything approaching proof here, just a fringe theory without
evidence.
According to the title of the thread, there's a "conspiracy" here. ???

Originally posted by treasurefish"Anyway, what are the religious implications of this discovery? To some, it means that a temple will be
built to house it, and then the anti-Christ (Obama probably) will come to desecrate it: "

I don't think Obama has enough days left in office to become the Antichrist (not that I believe there is such a thing).

The reason why they aren't continuing the project is because it is the general consensus that there is nothing there important enough to expend the
resources necessary to dig it up just to find what they (world renowned archaeologists/financiers) believe would be something not worth the resources
expended.

Hello all- long time lurker/reader- first time poster... I was compelled to respond to this posting because this seems very familiar- particularly as
it seems to follow the first steps of "Project Blue Beam"

From Serge Monast:
Engineered Earthquakes & Hoaxed 'Discoveries'
The first step in the NASA Blue Beam Project concerns the breakdown [re-evaluation] of all archaeological knowledge. It deals with the set-up, with
artificially created earthquakes at certain precise locations on the planet, of supposedly new discoveries which will finally explain to all people
the "error" of all fundamental religious doctrines. The falsification of this information will be used to make all nations believe that their
religious doctrines have been misunderstood for centuries and misinterpreted. Psychological preparations for that first step have already been
implemented with the film, '2001: A Space Odyssey;' the StarTrek series, and 'Independence Day;' all of which deal with invasions from space and
the coming together of all nations to repel the invaders. The last films, 'Jurrassic Park,' deals with the theories of evolution, and claim God's
words are lies. i.am...

Hoaxed "Discoveries'
What is important to understand in the first step is that those earthquakes will hit at different parts of the world where scientific and
archaeological teachings have indicated that arcane mysteries have been buried. By those types of earthquakes, it will be possible for scientists to
rediscover those arcane mysteries which will be used to discredit all fundamental religious doctrines. This is the first preparation for the plan for
humanity because what they want to do is destroy the beliefs of all Christians and Muslims on the planet. To do that, they need some false 'proof'
from the far past that will prove to all nations that their religions have all been misinterpreted and misunderstood.

I can post the link to this, but you can essentially search yahoo for project blue beam and find this from the first suggested link... although im
sure, based on where I am posting this- that most of you are already familiar...

No, the Ark cannot be in Greece. The Ark HAS TO BE IN THE VATICAN!
Why?
They've been plundering and conquering countries and continents for over 1600 years. Surely they must have the Ark by now!

BTW I believe the Ark to be some kind of radioactive source a.k.a portable nuclear bomb - if it ever existed that is.

BAAHHHHHH!!!!! I can't wait to email that picture to my husband.....seriously, it totally made me LOL. We can't stand that guy for that exact
reason.....plus the fact that he has the most bonkers-bonanza-obscene hair I've ever seen.
I like the pic so much I would almost consider making it my new avatar. But, I'm really not that into aliens (even though I love watching Ancient
Aliens and yell at & argue with the t.v. when they say something stupid), plus I just don't think it's quite as stupid as my giraffe/cow/goat
picture.

Having shared all of that usless off-topic information, I guess I need to say something on topic so I don't get axed off of the thread:

There are many interesting theories on the location of the Ark of the Covenant, most of which seem plausible in their own right. However, we simply
won't know where it's been kept until it's been acknowledged to be found.....in more than one obscure news article that doesn't seem corroborated
by any other news media at this time.

Plus, who's to say that the Ark would even have the same power today as that which is spoken of in the Bible?
The essence of the Ark's power was the Shekinah (or "Glory") of God, and last time I checked He ain't no genie in a bottle, ya dig?
The reason the Israelites were undefeated in battle with the Ark was because God was with them.
By that rationale, it seems obvious to me that the Ark itself can be likened to an electric appliance that needs to be plugged in to work.
If there is no power source, then the appliance is useless.

Always check your sources. Don't just believe something that source A tells you source B said, check out source B yourself. Some members here on
ATS will not hold back if they end up disappointed when a story turns out to be a hoax or unfounded!

If you go to the webpage grekomania.ru and run it through google translate there is no mention of anyone finding a tomb or the ark of the covenant in
their 'top stories'. You think they would at least mention this huge discovery, so I suppose we can say source A is not correct for whatever (lying,
lazy fact checking etc).

Also if a source like grekomania did have such a story how likely is it to be reliable coming from an organisation that promotes greek tourism?

As many have posted, I too am very skeptical as to whether or not the Ark has been discovered, but I also like connecting the dots and have found some
interesting things that I would like to hear your opinions about. Let's say that the Ark of the Covenant was really discovered in Greece along with
Alexander the Great's tomb. Now I haven't studied bible prophecy in depth for quite a while, so correct me if I am wrong, but I think that Alexander
the Great is connected to the empires in Daniel's prophecies as one of the great empires immediately before the Roman empire.

Greece is having a significant effect right now on the world economy. Then recently Italy's economy became the focus. So this connects the Greek
empire and the Roman Empire. Much of the future of the world's economic status is hinging on these two.

Then there is a connection between the crystal skulls and the Ark of the Covenant in which there is a legend that
claims that the crystal skulls were originally contained in the Ark. The event of the crystal skulls will happen today in Los Angeles at 11:11 on
11/11/11. The latitude of Greece is very close to the latitude of Los Angeles, which of course is the City of the Angels.

Then there is the connection with this occurring on Armistice Day when World War I came to an end at 11:11 on 11/11/1918. Which will be one hundred
years on 11/11/2018, which is exactly 7 years from now.

Be nice to me, I don't post very often and I am probably just making some random irrational connections. I really am looking for some feedback from
people who know more about the bible prophecies than I do and those who might know about the connection between the crystal skulls and the Ark of the
Covenant.

I can give you a connection between the ark of covenant and the crystal skulls, the ark within and upon the two golden angles spread wings, was placed
a large magnetic stone, being the Sapphire stone, that absorbed high levels of, what is called pranic energy, or if you like super magnetic s the
skulls do the same, along with another gift, being that of fire, or the ability to generate fire at will, providing you have sunlight, the intense
Atomic crystallography and refractory factors can set fire to detritus some meter distant, the reason the angles were, or had to be of pure gold, was
to attain the single Atom being the gold atom of insulation so as to let the stone retain it charge, I leave the rest for when it is properly
collated upon a new thread soon to be posted, that will go in to massive amounts of data explained on subject never be fore known or explained

No, not the original ones. The original ones got shattered. It held the copies made by Moses later, and a bit of mannah.

Hang on a minute now, the pyramids are some 12,000 years old, albeit the ten commandments may be that old as well but I think there may be some
conjecture over that, but Giza had an ark as did Solo-mans Temple

Exactly what I was thinking when reading this......a discovery that will shake the foundations of religions as a precurser to the plan being put into
effect. I'm glad I wasn't the only one seeing this relation!

Wow if this really is Alexander the Greats tomb.. This is the biggest archeological find since the Pyramids. Maybe even more so.. They may find relics
from every single ancient civilization in there... Amazing

Your opinion that it is made up and fictional doesn't make it so. It is very likely that the Ark existed. Whether you believe the myths that surround
it, or that it was some sort of holy object with mystical powers is another subject, or not, there is very little reason to doubt the existence of the
object itself.
